Anthony Albanese's response to criminal deportation

Circling back to Anthony Albanese's response to Australia's policy of deporting some criminals with New Zealand citizenship who have lived in Australia most of their lives.

Asked about the policy, the PM said Australia was taking a commonsense approach that was "understood".

"What we have is an understanding that whilst we have common purpose, we don’t have uniform position, but we respect each other’s position. 

"Australia's job is to look after our national interest. We say the safety of Australians is the number one consideration in the ministerial direction 110, but it also continues to apply common sense."

The cyber attack initiative

A reporter asks for more information on the cyber attack initiative.

"We concede warfare has changed and cyber warfare is a large part and we are making sure that is modern and reflective of the environment we operate in and how warfare is undertaken, so it is pretty severe a cyberattack we would need to see but it is important we have that covered," Luxon responds.

Albanese adds: "We will make this assessment on a case-by-case basis, obviously, but as cyberattack can have as great an impact as an attack from traditional means."

Australia will look to include New Zealand in AUKUS

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australia will likely extend an invite to New Zealand to join pillar two of the AUKUS defence pact.

"I think there will be opportunities for New Zealand to participate in pillar two just as we reached out to Japan and other countries, particularly, can participate on a case-by-case basis," he said.

"It makes sense. therefore, when we are considering pillar two of the AUKUS agreement to engage like-minded countries.

"We share very much common values and we share common objectives."

Luxon not concerned about ADF recruitment

"I don't have any concerns about the recruitment of New Zealanders into the Australian Defence Force," Luxon says.

'We want to be a force multiplier for Australia', Luxon says

In response to Dziedzic's question, Christopher Luxon says his government wants to be working with Australia on national security "as much as possible".

"We want to be fully interoperable with Australia's defence forces," he said.

"We want to be a force multiplier for Australia and by making sure that we can do things like joint procurement, we have alignment on what we can bring, that is the way it will go onto the course of the year."

'Australian-grown criminals'

Albanese is asked: "How do you justify contributing to New Zealand's crime and gang problem which — with what effectively our Australian-grown criminals?"

"Australia's job is to look after our national interest. We say the safety of Australians is the number one consideration in the ministerial direction 110, but it also continues to apply common sense. A commonsense approach. It is all we try to bring to this and that is understood."

ABC Foreign Affairs correspondent asks about NZ's defence capability plan

The ABC's Foreign Affairs correspondent Stephen Dziedzic asks Mr Luxon for what Australia and New Zealand's commitment "to increasing our combined operational tempo and presence together in the Indo-Pacific region" entails.

"Are we talking about New Zealand making an increased contribution to existing multilateral exercises? Are you contemplating more work together in humanitarian and disaster relief?" Dziedzic asks.

"Can you give us a sense of what is being contemplated there and, if I could add, you have obviously got a defence capability review underway, what sort of investments do you believe England will have to make of that review to make a meaningful contribution to these?"

Approaches aligned

Luxon says regulatory approaches will be aligned.

"We are aligning our regulatory approaches, including battery and EV technologies, and New Zealand announced earlier this week we intend to align our approach to regulating gene technology with the Australian legislation or approach as well."

Deportation 'commonsense' approach

Luxon says: "We also discussed 501 deportation with a focus on the commonsense approach deportations that addresses people whose formative experiences were nearly all in Australia and Prime Minister Albanese and I agreed to engage closely on this."
